If you are like the rest of us and getting a little older, even over 40 years of age, you may find that you are starting to forget things a little easier. Part of this is due to the fact we are so busy these days, it’s hard to remember everything. Try some of these tips to help you remember things a little easier.
If you need to remember to bring something with you the next day either put it in your car now, if it’s not perishable, so you don’t even have to try to remember it, or put it in front of the front door so you will almost trip over it on your way out. If you must leave it in the refrigerator, then put something in the fridge that you definitely won’t leave the house without, say your keys, you get the idea, or put a note on the door that you go out of.
If you want to remember to look something up next time your PC is on, put the paper, article, coupon etc on the keyboard or write your note on a post it and put it on the keyboard, mouse, stick it on the on monitor.
If your spouse forgets to tell you things when you get home, have them write down just a word or two on a post it and put it where you set your keys, purse, wallet etc when you get home. This is also a useful trick for yourself, if you want to remember to do something when you get home from work, just leave a note where you will be sure to see it upon arrival.
If you want to remember to do something in the morning, just put a note on your bathroom mirror.
You can leave odd items that will spark your memory like leaving an empty cupcake pan in the middle of the table because you are suppose to bake something the next day or two or maybe on the weekend, but you want to remember to buy the mix sometime this week.
You don’t always have to write yourself a note, you can use items already available to help you remember. For example, let’s say you need to remember to pick the next Netflix movie you want from your queue, just use the outside part of the return envelope that you would normally recycle and leave it on your keyboard or laptop. It’s larger and red so it stands out more that a post it.
If you are washing and drying work clothes and you want to avoid ironing them as much as possible, simply set the timer for the approximate time it will take to wash them, promptly put them in the dryer and reset the timer again so you can promptly take them out before the dryer has stopped.
These days you can set reminders on Outlook, at the office, on your cell phone, your iPhone or just your old fashioned digital watch if that’s easier. Keep an erasable board you can write large notes to all on the fridge.
If you are having serious trouble remembering things be sure to see your doctor for a professional opinion. If you are just busy and don’t have a great memory, then try some of these tips here and you’ll be able to sleep better knowing it’s all taken care of.

We humans seem to forget lists of things of more than six or seven items; it seems that if you make lists shorter than that, they will be easier to remember in almost all cases.
At this time, we are sending out a copy of a new motivational book entitled WOW: A Handbook for Living to bloggers for review. In this revolutionary guide, management coaches Zen Ohashi and Zono Kurazono present a powerful method for living and being successful in everyday life. Thirty-one short phrases are combined with simple, concise methods designed to implement empowerment and change in the lives of readers.

Authors Zen and Zono are very clear that this book will not change your life. You will change your life. They present exercises and methods in WOW: A Handbook for Living designed to empower, motivate and embolden readers to create happiness and fulfillment in their lives. They point out that there is no one and only answer for living a successful life, but there is a method to find the answer that works for you. WOW: A Handbook for Living presents that method. Designed to be read cover to cover or one phrase at a time this little book is a wonderful source of motivation.
I’d love to send you a copy of the book for you to review on your blog.
